Horizon view
Horizon from Lomonosov
27.3501° N, 98.2786° E · cell 35RHU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.9° above the horizontal, 43.6 km away at azimuth 239°.
- Farthest visible point
- 48.3 km away at azimuth 17°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,839 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.0° high at azimuth 253°, 22.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:20 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
